Plastics... How soon is too soon?

Well, I'm 7 months from my surgery date and am close enough to my goal that I'm getting my boobs done next week. They've gone from a DD to a B, which I'm not liking at all.

The doctor said that as long as I'm within 10 lbs from my goal, I am fine to get my boobs done. I'm at 129 now and don't want to go (much) below 120, so I figured "what the heck".

I could prob use a tummy tuck too, but am hoping that will tighten up on its own once I start exercising.

Good luck with your surgery.

Hey Jen....nice to know you're still alive ha ha!  Coolness on the TT.  I'm gonna need lotsa tuckin.....so interested to see what your experience will be!  Damn girl....you go "all in"..... don't ya!  Enjoy hangin' W/ your sis!

Hi - I got my tummy tuck and breast lift 3 weeks ago when I was 14 months out from my VSG and having lost 135lbs.

My surgeon said that anything above 5kgs (11lbs) would make a difference to the final result. I set my plastics goal as a max of 10lbs above my goal and met this target. Since surgery I have lost 10lbs so am now 5lbs away from my revised lower goal (which hits the BMI chart of normal - however I'm not a fan of BMI as it doesn't take into account body composition - I'm very muscular and have 22% body fat so this is a better measure for me.

I'm very pleased with my results - see my blog for info and some pics.

I have another surgery in 4 weeks time for thigh and arm lift (I'm expecting to lose a bit more weight with the surgery and skin removal) and then as far as I'm concerned I'm done with losing and will focus on maintaining.

I upped my protein to 150g per day in the month before surgery and whilst healing and this is really paying off.

Good Luck

Check out the PS forum if you haven't already.  Good info there.

Not sure, but great post.  I definatley would do a tummy tuck, i hate my tummy always have and can't wait to not have a fold of skin.  I am guessing for me I would have to weigh closer to 150-140 before I should consider it....I remember 155 in college and I probably should lose 10-20lbs then ....uhg, one of the many burdens we have had from obesity!

Can I ask what the cost of a TT is?
